    D Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total work be 60 units. (LCM of 10 and 12) Efficiency of A = 60/10 = 6 units/day Efficiency of B = (60/12) × (80/100) = 4 units/day Ratio of the efficiency of A : B = 6 : 4 = 3:2 Share of A = (3/5) × 1200 = Rs.720
